A Is For Apple

Took knowledge in a logical way Took out books starting with "A" After a few months and a week Wasn't even close to the "B's" But I could tell you anything you wanted to know about aardvarks and artichokes But I kept at it figurin I'll get there Sat so long wore a hole in my chair My beard grew longer couldn't stop to shave And as it grayed I was near the end of the "A's" Couldn't wait to learn all about buttered beans and brussel sprouts Well look back now I think I should've Started at age four then maybe I would've Been to the "D's" before I died But in the "C's" I learned how to cry Cultivate cucumbers correctly create conversations continuously colloquially called chewing cud I learned all about alliteration ages ago

Thank you. Occasionally I throw in some old lyrics written for a band The Denim Dirt Farmers. This is one of them. So not A poem but a song. Thanks Panagiota.

I throw in a few of my the Denim Dirt Farmers lyrics when I have anything to say. I have to say, Maureen, that I am proud of those lyrical days, and the Farmers got good reviews until (as a fellow Canadian of yours- Neil Young- predicted, "Digital music will ruin the music industry."< a paraphrase) But it came true. The Farmers last project "Work Week" was a 6 disc set, one CD being my lyrics. It was selling complete for $25, but not a single person bought the entire set. Songs were sold individually for a download of 98 cents. So just on "Work Week" I wrote at least 70 song lyrics. I'll never put them all on this site. It's not me anymore Maureen. But as always, thank you so much for your comments.
